I don't know, the animation and how they portray the ADD children. Also the way they come up with an outrageous solution to the problem is humerous. Don't you think it's funny?

I believe I have ADD and so does my entire family but I have never been diagnosed with ADD.

The only thing unusual about an ADD or an ADHD diagnosis is that these kids generally have no trouble paying attention for endless hours to a mindless pursuit such as World of Warcraft.
It's not that they have an attention deficit disorder, it's the fact that they don't want to pay attention to something that doesn't totally grab their interest. That and the fact that we aren't designed to subsist on simple carbs.
If your blood sugar is stable, your personality and energy level generally is too. You can then focus on the task at hand. Imagine that.
As soon as a kid has ADD explained to them they milk it for all it is worth.

I got tested for ADD becuase my math grades suddenly slipped (aka dropped like a rock) and an average score was like 85-95 on the test, ADD was somewhere lower, I got a 115 or so 8)
Turns out the teacher was bad, because the entire jr high in his class barely made it by...
Anywhooo, I don't really have any mental disorders, other than being a really visual person. If I'm reading and someone is talking to me, I'll be lucky to pick up a quarter of what they said. I also get yelled at by my science teacher for not listening. (Imagine the voice of a person from thw Bronx who lived in Alabama for a few years, that's what she sounds like)

Flying_Salt: kind of ironic you reply to somebody's signature in a discussion on ADD.

Indeed, there's much more substance to that South Park episode than meets the eye.
